Lately...

Things have been hairy at home. Reese, who is normally SO sweet has become SO sassy! She is telling us "no" a lot. Her way of doing it is still in a quiet nice voice so sometimes it gets overlooked. (Saige's way is to scream like a total maniac and run around) But yesterday we were done with it. Aaron actually yelled at her and she of course had a total meltdown making things even worse. She refused to eat dinner, clean up, take a bath, come when we called her, get in the car, put on her shoes, go to the restroom, brush her teeth...you get the idea!

I don't know if being sassy just comes with being four or what but its been a very very trying few days. She kicked the kitchen cabinets and said NO really loud at me today. Of course when we get around strangers she is very sweet and compliant, which I love but I want her to be that way at home too.

We had a long talk about being "obedient" with her yesterday. It helped some but this going over things over and over has been very hard on me. I want to run in my closet and just hide some days. I know it doesn't help that Aaron has been working long hours lately. Doing breakfast to baths every day alone gets to me sometimes. Thank God for mothers day out! I pray that these sassy spells end soon but I'm sure we're just getting started.
